With a hidden agenda in each camp, will either party be able to complete their mission?
What Uncle Sha learned
I think this is one of the better romantic comedy out there.
The story is unique in itself considering both characters are trying their best to out-smart each other.
I just love the crazy-girlfriend-act by Andie played by Kate Hudson.
I was laughing myself silly when all the worst girlfriend attributes that would scare any sane man away was unleashed in one go during the movie.
It sure brings back a lot of memories for me. Truly Andie turned up the notch with the sniffles scene and the mushy name-calling.
Everything was hilarious, there were great chemistry, I love the one-liners, but the kissing part didn’t convince me. I can’t be certain if it’s Matthew McConaughey or Kate Hudson who was the bad kisser in the film.
It is as if I’m looking at two fishes trying to gulp for air … eyyywww!!
The girlfriend scare tactics in the film itself did bring out a very good debatable point, which is cohabitation.
Should a couple, or shouldn’t they?
I do believe only when you’ve lived together during the span of your relationship, and knows the little nitty-gritty of each other, can only a relationship take the next step. Well that’s just me of course.
And one last quip from me for the girls, coming from a dude, any guy who likes and thinks highly of that certain girl, he WILL put up with anything.
But never ever mess with our obsession with sports, and name-calling our dick please.
Plus oh yeah, never ever mention the ‘L’ word too quick while you’re still dating!
On a endnote, the scene where Kate Hudson was wearing Knicks jersey, now that’s sexy. I know there’s sexy sexy ya know, looking fine in a sizzling number, but at times, wearing something unexpected like the guy’s long-sleeve shirt, or putting on a singlet of the sports team the guy is supporting, now you’ve got his attention!
